N2  - In conclusion, the majority, or at least a large proportion, of accidental injuries in the elderly are preventable with careful medical and environmental evaluation and intervention. A vigorous diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive approach is appropriate in all older patients who fall in addition to those at a high risk of falling. Any intervention that can make inroads on this major cause of death and disability in the elderly population will clearly have major impact.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
